• Reviews around addition (3.75 of 5)

    Metroid: Samus Returns - Nintendo 3DS

    • The new melee attack is a nice addition, but it is taking me some time to adjust to using it.
    • Overall, I liked the addition of all the new Aeion abilities, and how they could be used
    • The move to full 360 degree aiming is a very welcome addition
    • In particular, the main boss fights require excellent pattern recognition and master of one of the best new additions to Samus Returns: The melee counter
    • It would have taken a lot for it to impress me, and while I think it's an excellent remake and a worthy addition to the Metroid series (and doubly so after so much nothing), I couldn't help but just expect...more.
    • The 360 degree field of fire sounds good in theory, and is a welcome addition as you can pick off enemies through obstacles when you get the wave beam and don't have to jump to line up missile shots, but it is imprecise compared to the precision you need with some hits, especially against Metroid
    • , I just don’t think it’s a very good addition to the Metroid sidescroller line.
    • Play the game to 100% in order to see what I mean!An excellent addition to the 3DS library, and the presumably the last important title for this excellent system.
    • Graphics are amazing and the 360 degree aiming ability is an awesome addition
    • The new melee attack is a nice addition, but it is taking me some time to adjust to using it.
    • The new Aeion features are nice additions, especially the scanner which reveals the map in sections as well as powerup locations and breakable blocks
    • This game is as close to perfect as I think could be made, especially with so many "cooks in the kitchen"
    • The game utilizes the 3-D effect pretty well and gameplay feels nice and responsive

    • If you want an example, I spent about an hour in the first area dying repeatedly before I even faced the first Metroid because I really didn't want to use the move, so I watched a video about the game to find out what I why I sucked at
    • n’t go wrong with this game
